A Night Guard Can Help Teeth Grinding
Grinding your teeth while you sleep is a serious issue. Though you may not be aware of it as it is occurring, the damage incurred is serious. If you do happen to suffer from this disorder, you likely experience jaw soreness and notice changes to your teeth. Many individuals dealing with this issue notices chipped teeth, diminished enamel, and a tight jaw. While these may seem like minor symptoms at first teeth grinding — also known as bruxism — can lead to needing more serious procedures down the road, if not dealt with early. For example, if you don’t treat grinding early, you may need porcelain veneers to fix the aesthetic damage done. Luckily, there is a solution; night guards can help ensure that your bruxism won’t hurt your teeth anymore.
